Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte Thanks for stopping by.

We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work Our flagship campus is in Sydney.
We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
But you have choice in where and how you work.

You'll be responsible for writing and stewarding high quality, performant frontend code, as well as growing the video frontend so it can continue to be highly modular, extensible, testable and a joy to work in.

Help to identify and communicate best practices and methodologies for frontend engineering and video technology.
What we are looking for Excellent computer science fundamentals.

Someone who has (or wants to build) a deep understanding of key browser concepts like the event loop, bubbling/capturing and rendering pipeline.

Excited by solving hard problems, video editing in the browser is hard and requires going deep on technical problems to find solutions.

Someone to jump into product development to continually ship value to users.

Excellent communication to build relationships with a diverse group of people to be able to drive impact across the company.

Strong technical leadership to help take projects and problems from chaos to clarity.

Requirements Knowledge of Java Script and web technologies (HTML/CSS) Experience developing rich applications with HTML/CSS/JS Experience and knowledge of cross-browser and cross-device development Deep understanding of key browser concepts like the event loop, bubbling/capturing and rendering pipeline.

Understanding of the browser event model (bubbling, capturing) Ability to write performant, reusable code for UI components, including appropriate testing Bonus experience Experience with HTML Video Experience the video technology in general Experience with Web Audio API's Experience with graphics programming Experience with GLSL / Web GL Experience with Type Script (or other typed languages) Experience with React Experience with Mob X What's in it for you? Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too.

We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
